SSL TECHNOLOGY
We use a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection to protect the transmission of your data. This ensures that your data, including credit card details and contact information, is securely transmitted via the internet. In addition, the data is encrypted so that our payment system can only read it. From a symbol (sealed padlock) in your browser’s window bar, you will recognize that you are now in the secured area. If your P.C. cannot process SSL – which may happen in rare cases – you do not need to worry that your data will be transmitted without secure encryption. However, you will usually receive an error page drawing your attention to the problem in such cases. Then, you should, best of all, contact your provider.
We only work with Processing partners who can ensure an adequate level of protection for your Personal Data. We disclose your Personal Data to third parties or public officials when legally obliged to do so. For example, we might disclose your Data to third parties if you have consented to it or on other legal grounds.
How we secure your data
We do our best to keep your Personal Data safe. We use safe protocols for communication and transferring data (such as HTTPS). We use anonymizing and pseudonymizing where suitable. We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.
Even though we try our best, we can not guarantee information security. However, we promise to notify suitable authorities of data breaches. We will also notify you if there is a threat to your rights or interests. We will do everything we reasonably can to prevent security breaches and assist authorities should any breaches occur.
